Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 254

"What? You don't welcome me here?" the woman who walked in said calmly. Ignoring the shocked look on Sean's face, she walked to the sofa and sat down on it.

"What's that supposed to…" Sean forced back his words when he saw that his assistant was still here. He turned to him and said, "You can go on with your work."

The assistant was curious about who the woman was and why Sean would be so surprised to see her, he even wondered if she was Sean's mistress. Although he was curious, he had been working for Sean for a while and knew what he should and shouldn't do, especially when Sean was still angry.

Hearing Sean's words, he said, "Okay, sir." Then he left the office.

After he left, Sean walked to door and glanced around. He didn't close the door until he made sure that there was no on around. Then he walked nervously to the woman and asked, "Laura, when did you come back?"

The woman was Laura Hutchinson, indeed.

She was wearing white clothes that pictured her slim figure and a pair of big sunglasses that covered half of her face. If one didn't look carefully enough, he wouldn't be able to tell it was her at a glance.

"A while ago," Laura said, "Mr. Kirkland, you don't watch the news at all?"

"What news?" Sean had been worried sick about the company lately and had no time for news.

Looking at him in disbelief, Laura shook her head and sneered in her heart. Such a sensation had happened and Sean didn't even know. What an old-fashioned man! No wonder he would be defeated by Horace.

However, even if he was old and stupid, he would be a great pawn.

Without answering his question, Laura stood up and walked around his office. "Mr. Kirkland, you have a nice office here. Although you took a high risk back then, you got what you wanted eventually."

Hearing her bringing up what had happened back then, Sean was a bit flustered. He didn't want to circle around the bush with Laura and asked straightforwardly, "Why did you come back? You had promised you would never come back."

Seeing the nervous and frightened look on his face, Laura sneered. "What are you so scared of? What? You feel guilty?"

"I warn you, Laura. You are also a part of what had happened back then. If you tell anyone about it, both of us will be doomed," Sean said angrily when he saw the indifferent look on Laura's face that was completely different from that on his.

He had a bad feeling. Compared with that girl back then, the Laura now had grown much smarter. She could no longer be played like a toy by him.

"Don't be angry. Relax. No one will find out about it," Laura said, walking up to him with a charming smile. However, her words sounded dangerous, "Besides, I'm here to work with you again,"

"Work with me?" Sean stared at her in confusion with his guard on, "What do you mean?"

"I know that although you are nominally the CEO of Kirkland Group right now, your position is not secured. As far as I know, Horace has taken back some of the shares in Kirkland Group. I can help you get them back and help you gain full control of Kirkland Group. What do you think?"

"Why would you do that?" Although Sean was moved by her words, he was still sane and knew she wouldn't help him for nothing. "Moreover, how are you going to do that?"

"Of course, I won't do it for free." an evil smile appeared on Laura's face as she said. "You want all the shares of Kirkland Group, while I want Clara's life. You'll know how I can help you when the time comes."

"You want to kill her?" Sean squinted and asked. There was cunning smile on his face as he said vaguely, "It's too risky, I won't help you."

"No risk, no reward," Laura tried to persuade him, "Moreover, I won't kill Clara. I just want to teach her a lesson. She should be punished for trying to take what is mine."

"Really?" Sean had witnessed how ruthless Laura could be, and he found it hard to believe in her words.

"Of course. I just want to take back what belongs to be in the first place. But if someone died during the process and brought the police, what good would it do me?"

After thinking about her words and the Solrace Corporation's attack on Kirkland Group recently, Sean nodded and asked, "Then what do you need me to do?"

Seeing that he had agreed, Laura smiled complacently.

"You just have to…" Laura whispered in Sean's ear. Just like that, a plan targeting at Horace and Clara was being made.

Recently, the relationship between Clara and Horace had gotten a lot better and they didn't feel as awkward together as before. However, thinking of the fact that Horace would be working with Laura often, Clara couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable. She felt that there was something between Horace and she that had drifted them away a little.

She told herself that it would only last till the project was finished. Clara just wanted things to go back to what they had been before.

On this day, Clara got to the subway station after she got off work. When she was waiting for the subway, she got a message from Isaac, saying that Horace wanted to see her and asked her to wait in the alley near the subway station. He said he would come to pick her up soon.

Seeing the message, Clara felt it a bit weird. Isaac usually called her if he had anything and seldom texted her. Besides, when she was having breakfast with Horace in the morning, he didn't say anything special.

After reading the message again and confirming it was from Isaac, she didn't hesitate and quickly turned around to go wait for Horace in the alley. Maybe Horace had something important to talk to her, she thought.

However, she didn't see Isaac's car after she got to the alley. After patiently waited for a quarter, she still didn't see Isaac. Sensing that something seemed off, she took out her phone and was about to call Horace to ask.

As soon as she took out her phone from her bad, someone covered her mouth and nose with something from behind. Clara sensed a strange smell, and gradually she passed out…
